There is no single price for rehab, because there is no single kind of private treatment. What you pay depends mostly on the level of support, whether accommodation is included, whether detox is needed, and whether treatment is outpatient, quasi-residential or fully residential.
The sections below explain the main private treatment options and why their costs differ.
Private outpatient treatment is usually charged per session, commonly in the region of £50 to £150 per session, depending on the therapist, service and level of support.
Outpatient treatment usually means attending appointments while continuing to live at home. It can cost less overall, but it may not suit someone who needs detox, time away from home, or more structured daily support.
Quasi-residential rehab may cost around £6,000 to £8,000 for 28 days, but the lower fee usually reflects a different treatment model.
Quasi-residential treatment is not fully residential. Treatment usually takes place during the day, while accommodation is arranged separately, and meals and overnight support are not normally included in the headline fee.
Fully residential rehab commonly sits between £12,000 and £16,000 for 28 days, although some luxury and specialist centres charge more.
Fully residential treatment means staying in the treatment setting itself, with accommodation, meals, therapy, daily structure and support included as part of the same stay. This is the model used at Abbington House.
The exact fee depends on room type and is confirmed in writing before admission. It does not change during the stay.
Because the fee is fixed, people know from the outset what treatment will cost and what is included, rather than being quoted one figure and charged more as treatment goes on.
The fee is the same whether someone is coming to us for alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling, or a combination. Clinical needs shape the treatment itself, particularly whether detox is needed, but they don’t change the fee that was agreed before arrival.
Where a full stay is not possible, or where a shorter stay is more appropriate, shorter stays are available following an assessment with our admissions and clinical team. The assessment establishes what a shorter stay can realistically achieve in your situation — including whether medical detox is needed — so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.
You can read more about how we think about this on our length of stay page.
If you have questions about the cost of treatment, what is included, or whether residential rehab is the right level of support, you can speak to our team before making any decision.
When you are ready, our admissions page explains how coming to Abbington House works.
